Liverpool striker nears exit door

• Liverpool are close to agreeing a deal to sell striker Darwin Nunez to Saudi Pro-League side Al-Hilal for an initial £46.2m.
• The transfer is contingent on Nunez agreeing to leave Anfield, with the fee potentially rising to £56.6m including add-ons.
• Nunez joined Liverpool from Benfica in 2022 for £64m, with his fee potentially reaching £85m, and scored 15 and 18 goals in his first two seasons respectively, but only seven last year.
• While AC Milan and Napoli also showed interest, Al-Hilal is prepared to meet Liverpool's asking price.
• Liverpool have already signed Hugo Ekitike for £69m and had a £110m bid for Alexander Isak rejected, suggesting a restructuring of their attacking options.
